The traditional Tory blue outfit is immaculate and the famous 'helmet hair' – now platinum white – is perfectly coiffed.
This is former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on her 87th birthday heading for a celebratory lunch yesterday with her son Mark and his wife Sarah.
Baroness Thatcher – nicknamed The Iron Lady after she made a typically scathing speech about the Soviet Union – walked arm-in-arm with Mark as she left her home in London's Belgravia.
The trio dined at Green's, a fashionable restaurant and oyster bar in St James's.
Carol Thatcher, whose relationship with her mother is said to be strained, was not present.
Baroness Thatcher has suffered a series of strokes over the past decade and in recent years she has only rarely made public appearances.
Friends say she often enjoys sitting in her favourite armchair in the drawing room of her home while she listens to classical music. Her devoted husband Sir Denis died nine years ago.
One close friend who saw Mrs Thatcher for lunch last week said: 'She still watches the news, reads the papers and always has something to talk about.'
